The invention of radio had a great impact on the development of the world, but this was all later.

Only a handful of people who participated in Marconi experiments know about it, but all of them have been warned by Tesla not to speak out. Because he knows how practical this technology is, and this technology can be temporarily hidden until it is practical. As for how long you can hide it, you can only say that you can try your best.

And at present, Tesla's worries are a little too much, because the royal ball is about to start, and almost all eyes are currently attracted to this feast.

"Maria, am I so good-looking?"

In a room in the Allenon Palace, a girl dressed in fancy clothes asked another girl next to her.

"Very good, looks good."

The girl who spoke was also dressed beautifully, watching her sister still look left and right in front of the mirror, trying to make herself more perfect.

"I felt that this necklace was a little unmatched, and Maria gave me the pearl necklace to try."

"Okay, sister."

Maria took out a beautiful pearl necklace from the jewelry box, and the snow-white pearls shone on the white neck, which finally satisfied Margaret.

"Looks much better."

Seeing her sister Margaret's satisfied expression, Maria felt that it was a mistake to come to the world with her sister this time.

Both were the daughters of Archduke Carl Ludwig, but Maria was much younger than her sister Margaret, who was only fifteen years old this year, and was brought to see the world by her sister this time.

One more thing to say here, the current Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince of Austria-Hungary, is also the elder brother of the two.

Of course, it was not only these two female archdues who participated in the ball this time, but also the beauties from all over the world were also making their own preparations.

In the evening, the Quirinalale Palace is brightly lit, and the bright electric lights illuminate the entire palace.

The palace guards even put on brand new uniforms and showed their heroic posture in high spirits.

Everyone knew that the palace was very important today, so the guests were dressed up, and of course they knew that they were not the protagonists, but the beauties of the king and the world.

As representatives of the Habsburgs, Marguerite and Maria also entered the ball.

"It doesn't look like Italy is as barren as the family says it is?"

Maria, the youngest daughter of Archduke Ludwig, muttered quietly after looking around.

"This is also organized by the Savoy family, although it is not as good as our Habsburgs, but it can't be too bad."

Margaret, the sister with a keen sense of hearing, then explained to her sister in a whisper.

Although Margaret is explaining, her strong sense of superiority cannot be changed.

Yes, as a member of the Habsburgs, Margaret was full of pride in her family. The Habsburgs are also a wealthy family with a long history, and if it were a hundred or two hundred years ago, the girls of the Habsburg family would always be the most sought after objects of kings and nobles.

The Romanlous family were all barbarians, the Savoy family was also a minor aristocrat before, and the French Bourbon, Cape, Saxony Weitin, Bavarian Wittelsbach and other families were far from being compared with the Habsburgs. Although the Habsburgs are not the same as they used to be, they are still among the top three families in Europe. With the exception of the Hohenzollerns of Prussia and the Hanoverians of the British Empire, no other family could be compared to them at all.

In a way, the aristocracy of Europe is similar to the Oriental family, and they all evaluate the status of the family in all aspects. What a glorious history, the current power, and enough fame or something, of course, these are all famous families for comparison. The support behind it is all empires, kingdoms, and again all grand duchies, and with such national support, the nobles can have various comparisons.

These are the affairs of the big nobles, and the small nobles who are not the big nobles are much worse, and the life of the small nobles is much more difficult in this era. It is not news that many small aristocrats have gone bankrupt in their families for the sake of decency.

As for the guests who attended the ball, there was no pressure from such convenience.

"Hello, my name is Margaret and I'm from Vienna."

"Hello, my name is Grace and I'm from France."

……

After some conversation, the two parted amicably and intimately. When she turned around, Margaret felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

"Damn it, I didn't expect it to be a bun from Corsica."

That's right, this girl named Grace has a Bonaparte prefix. However, the Bonaparte family, which was good in France, was not so easy in Europe. Everyone knows that the history of the Bonaparte family comes from Napoleon, although it has only been 20 years since the fall of Napoleon III, but now the Bonaparte family is less than 100 years, which is not ranked in Europe at all.

Compared with the Habsburgs, who had a glorious history, the Bonaparte family did not carry shoes and could only be called nouveau riche.

This is one of the reasons why Margaret felt uncomfortable, and she didn't expect that the first person she knew was a Corsican nouveau riche.

In some ways, Marguerite represents the status quo of most European aristocrats, and they are very realistic to say that they are realistic, and to say that they are very hypocritical.

Even if she didn't want to get along with this Bonapartist girl, she would not show it at all, but showed great enthusiasm.

In addition to this girl from the Bonaparte family, Marguerite then socialized very well, and the girls from other countries met a lot, and at the same time made a lot of friends that she thought she could meet. Although everyone knows what the other is here for, no one will put the competition on the surface.

But when she returned to her sister after socializing, she immediately vented her dissatisfaction.

"Maria, are you here to eat?"

Faced with her sister's greedy appearance, Margaret didn't know what to say. Although she looks like an angel, she doesn't have aristocratic etiquette at all, just like a commoner girl.

"But I'm hungry, and you only asked the servant to bring a little vegetable at noon today, which is not enough to eat."

Maria, who still has some food scraps stuck to her face, casually explains the reason to her sister.

It's okay that Maria doesn't explain, but when she hears her sister's explanation, Margaret almost wants to give herself a look. At that time, how could he have thought of bringing Mary to the world, I knew that it would be better to bring my sister Elizabeth, although this youngest sister was only thirteen years old, but it was much better than Mary, who was already fifteen but still a little confused.

Although I wanted to pretend that I didn't know her, but after all, they came together, so Margaret could only step forward to tidy up her sister, and pulled her away from the table with reluctance.

And some of the people who paid attention to the table smiled knowingly.

Just as she was telling her sister, a shout drew everyone's attention.

"Honorable Queen Mother Margaelida and King Carlo have arrived!"

As the announcement fell, Queen Mother Margaelida entered the arena with Carlo.

With the arrival of the main character, the dance scene immediately fell silent. Today's Carlo is a little helpless, he is forced to dress up, although the retro white military uniform on his body makes him handsome and straight, but he always feels awkward, especially the neck is a little strangled, but he must have a smile.

"You're very happy to be here for this ball........."

After Empress Margaarida's short speech, beautiful music sounded, indicating that the ball had begun.

Many people present danced to the sound of music, bringing out the atmosphere of the ball. Although most of the people are dancing, there are still many people who sit here like ladies and wait, and most of them are unmarried girls, and the purpose is very clear, they are waiting.

Of course, they waited to be the protagonist of this time, Carlo chose his dance partner, and the main purpose of this dance party was also for him.

As the center of attention, Carlo also knew the importance of his first invitation.

So he kept going round among the beauties of the country, and the girls tried to show their good side in the face of the king's gaze.

"Huh?"

Carlo's gaze was drawn to a figure that, unlike the other aristocratic girls, sat on a chair and looked around, as if she had no idea what the ball was about.

Seeing that Carlo's gaze stayed there, the chief guard on the side whispered. "Your Majesty, this is the Archduchess Maria from the House of Habsburg, next to her sister Margaret."

"I see."

Carlo then got up and walked over to him. And many girls saw that Carlo was not coming in their direction, and a trace of darkness flashed in their eyes.

"Coming this way to me, I want to be dignified."

Margaret was overjoyed to see Carlo coming towards them. Although she was born into a Habsburg family, who wouldn't want to be a king if she could become a king. Besides, this Carlo is also good-looking, and it is perfect to be a husband.

Margaret is very clear about her identity, don't look at her many colorful lives, but few nobles' daughters can be the happiest for themselves. The word marriage is basically for aristocratic girls, let alone the Habsburg family, which grew by marriage. So it couldn't be better to be able to choose a handsome king as a marriage partner.

But immediately she was stunned.

The handsome king came up to them, stretched out his right hand, and spoke. "Can you be invited to dance?"

He's inviting his sister, who doesn't have aristocratic etiquette at all, what's going on?

As for Maria, who is despised by her sister, she is a little overwhelmed by the sudden focus of the audience. She had never seen this kind of scene again, so she naturally turned her eyes on her sister for help.

"Margaret, what should I do?"
